A source from the Cheka-OGPU reported that investigators are unable to interview those responsible for Prigozhin’s plane. The nominal owner of the MNT AERO company, Olga Gubareva, is on vacation in the Caucasus and does not answer the phone. The former and, obviously, main beneficiaries of the company and the owners of the jet – the “pilot of the leader of Wagner” Artem Stepanov and his partner Kirill Shcherbakov are also out of access. Stepanov is now in Kamchatka with his wife and her brother, and Shcherbakov has not been seen in the office in Moscow City for a long time.

It is worth noting that in September last year, Stepanov and Shcherbakov transferred a 100% share of MNT AERO to Olga Gubareva, who back in 2017 posted an advertisement for a job as an accountant. As expected, they did this to avoid sanctions. Shortly before leaving the founders of the LLC, which, by the way, was still called “Alcon” in 2021, Artem Stepanov gave a frank interview to Russian media. In particular, he complained that a “fleeting” meeting with Yevgeny Prigozhin radically changed his life, because, because of the leader of the Wagnerites, the businessman could not take out loans and mortgages, was unable to do business with international partners, and moreover, his friends turned away from him. him. This is because the airline businessman came under sanctions from the US Treasury, which claimed that another of Stepanov-Shcherbakov’s companies, Unijet, provided “management services” for an aircraft with tail number M-SAAN. It was this plane, after being re-registered in the Russian Federation, that received the number RA-02795, on which Prigozhin flew in recent months and eventually crashed.
